A captain,s Fortunate Discovery.

Capt. Coleman, schooner Weymouth,
plying between Atlantic City and n. y,
had been troubled with cough so that
he was unable to sleep, and was induced
to try DIR. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption. 1t not only gave him instant
relief, but allayed the same extreme sore
ness in his breast. His children were
similarly affected and single dose had
the same happy effect. DR.. Kings New
Discovery is now the standard remedy in
Coleman's household and on board the
schooner. Free trial bottles of this stan

down to size. The crowd, with but few excep
lions. sold freely. Some support found at
size; and fifteen minutes after the start June
wheat had recovered to 87kc. In their anxiety
themselves Short 1t was discovered. after
the first excitement had worn itself away that
the clique had purchased large amounts of June
wheat around S1s a S83c. and the crowd who, a
few minutes before, reckless sellers. be-
came anxious buyers June ran up from 873c to
SS4c as speedily as it had declined at the open
ing. Before the advance Of the early morning
was stopped June wheat sold as high as 8Ssc,
but for the remainder of the session 1t was
about stationary at So S64c, trading be-
ing fairly active. One of the "bear"

Household Hints.

Tissue or printing paper is the best thing for
polishing glass or tinware.
Peach leaves pounded to pulp and applied to
a bruise wound from rusty nail simple
cut will give mediate relief.
Cayenne pepper blown into the cracks where
ants congregate will drive them away. The
same remedy is also good for mice.
The New York Post says of the durability of
pongee goods Notwithstan ding much that has
been said in their praise, experience has proved
that they will not stand the test of great
exposure, and the warning our Western cor
respondent who asked for advice is reiterated
with emphasis. They easily soil. spot wrinkle,
lose their dressing, and if washed, turn a
streaked putty color A far better purchase
would be that of an American surah.
A pretty summer curtain may be made of thin
unbleached cotton with bands of blue or pink at
the top and bottom. Curtains Tor summer
should be light and airy. Common fish net
makes the most graceful and prettiest drapery
Imaginable Gray linen curtains are always
serviceable and look cool and refreshing. A
piece of antique lace for either inserting or
edge gives pleasing effect. Madras cloth comes
in many qualities and prices and is very popular
for warm weather.

Farm Notes.

Instead of the few simple varieties of lettuce
formerly grown, not less than sixty-fve varieties
are now know to horticuiturists.
Wire netting. two-inch mesh, is now cheaper
than boards material for fencing poultry, and
can be more easily arranged and with less labor.
There over fifty poultry associationssln the
United States that annually give exhibitions.
They nave been instrumental in greatly ad
vancing the poultry interests.
Grass is the foundation of success in farming.
It assists during the process of rotation to i'm
prove the soil. and enables more and better stock
to be kept. The farmer who succeeds in secur-
inga good hay crop has won half the battle.
When little chicks feather very rapidly they
sometimes droop If the be not due to
lice they may be greatly assisted by feeding
them small quantity OF chopped meat once a
day.
Sheep not only manure the land upon which
they may be hurdled pastured, but they
distribute 1t evenly. and press 1t into the soil.
There is an old maxim that "the foot of the
sheep Is gold to the farmer"
Unfermented manure should never be placed
in contact with the roots of any tree plant,
but if decomposed and well mixed with soil
injury will result from the use of a. limited GUAM
tity. The best way to coarse manure is to
apply it to the surface about the trees, slightly
covered with SOIL
Those who live on land where there is no
gravel or sand should haul load and spread it
about the poultry yards The fowls will enjoy
it much though it were something good to
eat, and in most cases it will do them good.
Don't forget this, as the chickens can't talk, and
don't know how to ask for what they want.
Those who look upon farming as only an ordi-
nary occupation mistaken. AS Professor
